v.This Iiiiventioiiis aiifartijele for use ofA golf players as, a pocketlc'onvenience land oom-V prises `a receptacle' for tees' andinatches.

An ohjectjof vthe invention is=to Aprovide a receptacle that is offlight Weight, compact? .and capable o'fbeing made eitherof-VsoftVmaterial or of inflexible' material, the construction being such that,in either casethe tees Will l:not accidentally come vloose'and the`rymatches or other varticlesfwill stayin place untily needed,notwithstanding the `receptacle has noretaiiiingcover for that purpose.

lThis invention is al continuation inpart of thejinveiitiondescribedandclaimedin my CO-pending application, SerialvNoL 144,055,

and includes a. novel dev-ice for 'releasably holding the tee in.l itspocket or hole, preventing` its `becoming accidentally loosened.

or jarred out, yet permitting it to'be readily Withdrawn Without`sticking Vfor creating a .suction effect-that Would'yinterfere'with itsremoval. r Y I y .-Furtlierinore, the teefretainingdevice is soconstructed that it Willfbeeifective Whether.
